I don’t know about San Diego, but in Cape Cod, MA, short sales are be done all over the place and investors are eating them up so they can just rent the homes out to tourists. BTW - nice post for those that are unfamiliar with the short sale.

It was a great idea to post the list of documets needed. It is a precious information because there are many people that are not familiar with the short sale.
